Nintendo Massacre?

Good day, internet. Our little group of gamers has finally decided on what we would like to do for another gaming marathon! It's a Nintendo Massacre! Old games and new games! Popular franchises and unheard wonders! Games that sucked to you, but we played as poor children and loved anyway!

You'll find that while our name has changed, the blog won't. You can still come here to find out new updates on what our lame selves are doing, and maybe I'll stop being lazy and change the layout for it too.

We have a list of Nintendo games ready for anyone at all to vote on. These are the games we're interested in playing, and we really want your opinion on it as well (in case you decide to watch!). 

Twilight Princess (Wii)
Resident Evil 4 (Wii)
Super Mario 64 (N64)
007: Goldeneye (N64)
Donkey Kong (N64)
Banjo-Kazooie (N64)
Metroid (Any of them, you choose!)
Crystal Chronicles (GC)
Brawl Adventure Mode (Wii)
Pac-Man World 2 (GC)
Pokemon Snap (N64)
The Simpsons Hit & Run (GC)
Okami (Wii)
Mario Galaxy (Wii)
Trauma Center: Second Opinion (Wii)
Diddy Kong Racing (N64)
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (GC)

You'll notice we obviously can't play all of these games. Here's where you come in - what specific games in this list would you like us to play? The final choice will rest with us, but we're pretty torn between what we feel like playing and need your help!

We have dates for it as well! We'll start at noon on the 27th of December. As for when we finish, we're still working on that. We'll either finish on the 29th for 48 hours, or the 30th if we decide to go for 72 straight hours of Nintendo. There's a whole ton of good games on our list, and we really want to play as many as we possibly can. Therefore, the option of going a full 72 hours has been brought up as well.

So there we are! Post your opinions here, send us an email, whatever you like! Fanmail and flames go to foonkythumbs@yahoo.com. Got a game you really want to see but wasn't on the list? Let us know about that too. Tell your friends about us if you think they'd be interested (ohohoh shameless plugs).

We'll have our final list of games and hopefully set dates for you by December 3rd at the latest.

Thanks for your help, internet!

I have a question. your theme is about "games that sucked to you" but your list has a lot of games that are both critically and commercially successful so I don't really get that.

as for your list, Pac Man World 2 FTW! I seriously has that game and its not bad (but not very good either) but I'd say definitely give that one a play.

Hey MasterK! :D Our theme isn't all about games that sucked, it's just that several of them on there were not exactly loved by the public but (when we were younger and didn't have our own money to spend) we enjoyed them a lot. I really didn't word that right in the post. ^^;

Yesssss I adored that game! Definitely not perfect, but really fun to play when you just wanted to run and jump around and blow off steam. Thanks for your opinion! I think Pac Man is going to make it into the roster now.

Y HALO DIS IS NANA. Let me just leave this here:

-Donkey Kong
Never finished it. He's mad at me.
-Trauma Center
OPERATE ON PEOPLE PLZ.
-Pokemon Snap
Take some sexy Pokemon pictures and please Oak sexually. Oh baby.
-Super Mario 64
Because it's awesome even though I never finished it.
-Crystal Chronicles
Just because.

I still say you should play EARTHBOUND, but uh there's no real way you can unless you get like ROMs. But if you do get to somehow play it, name one of the characters after me.

... I tried doing this once, but LiveJournal is a butt and won't let me post with it. Boohoo.

NANA FAAACEE.

Secretly, we're all working on a special secret update to the blog that's hopefully gonna flip everything upsiiide down (hinthint: something to do with viewers picking what games we play only secreter!) buuuuttt we still need opinions from people 'cause we gonna shave down the list. SO THANK YOU GOOD NANNERS.

Oh man, Evan (person in our group) looovvvess Donkey Kong, so perhaps you shall see the end of it now! I WANTS PLAY ME SUM TRAUMA CENTER AS WELL. AND GOSHHHH I'M PRETTY MUCH POSITIVE WE'RE GONNA BE PLAYING US SOME SEXYTIMES POKEMON SNAP.

Mario 64 and Galaxy both might be happening now, which is awesomesauce so eeeee. And as much as I adorree Crystal Chronicles, unless I can come up with a few gba cords and such for multiplayer, it might not happen. :[ WORKING HARD ON THAT THOUGH.

Man I wanna play Earthbound, but we don't have enough time to practice it. D: HOWEVER SINCE YOU HAVE ASKED YOU GET DIBS ON HAVING A CHARACTER NAMED AFTER YOURSELF. Congratulations! :D

SECRET BLOGS ARE CARING. You're welcome, my good Chupa.

DOES DONKEY KONG SAVE THE WORLD? PLAY TRAUMA CENTER AND WATCH AS YOU LOSE BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T PUT A BANDAID ON. WOO YEAH EROTIC SHOTS OF POKEMANS.

I never finished Galaxy eeeitheer. But I do know that Mario saves da day. Just because he's Mario. NO YOU MUST MAKE CRYSTAL CHRONICLES HAPPEN. IT'S FUNNY TO COLOR THE MOOGLE. I spent like half an hour coloring it and shaving it I swear to God.

WOO YEAH DIBS.
